Default Work to residency, work for hubbie?

Hi all,

if I came out on a work to residency visa then my other half would have to have atemp visa. He works in customer services.
Does anyone have experiance of trying to get customer services work in Auckland while on a temp visa?

Thanks very much

What version of Temp visa are you talking about?
All of the visas are listed here http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/
Would your partner fit into the WHV category?

I'd be coming out on a 'work to residency' visa and my husband would be on a 'general work' visa, which is for the same period as the 'work to residency' one, both have to be submitted together.

Thanks very much everyone.

So has anyone had any problem getting any kind of work while not being a PR?

One site I found for every job they said you must be a PR. Obviously we don't want to move somewhere that we would only have wage coming in for two years.

Thanks again.
